Today we decided to go on an adventure through time at the Missouri History Museum. Even though I've lived close to St. Louis for the majority of my life, I had somehow never gotten around to checking this museum out until now. I know, worst "St. Louisan" ever! (Unfortunately my photos from this trip are terrible quality. That's what I get for bringing my cell phone ... Read More
Friday Funday: Week 6 Review
